South-Central Texas is one of the most flash-flood-prone regions in the country, and Converse is right in it. Fast, heavy rain runs off Cibolo Creek, Escondido Creek, Salado Creek, and the low crossings along Loop 1604 and IH-10, and it can push into a garage or the back rooms of a home in minutes. Storm and flood water is not clean water, so it needs to be treated as contaminated and handled fast.
How storm water gets into a Converse home
Flood water finds the low point and the weak seal:
- Runoff off a slope, a creek, or a full storm drain into a garage or low room
- Water pushing under exterior doors and through weep holes
- Ground water rising into a slab-on-grade home when the yard cannot drain
- Storm debris and mud carried in with the water
Water coming through the roof from above is a different job, so see roof and storm leak water damage. Once the flood water is out, we move into structural drying to stop the damage from spreading behind the walls.
Our storm and flood response
Because storm water is usually Category 3, our restoration crews follow strict safety steps:
- Extract the standing water and remove mud, debris, and unsalvageable porous materials
- Clean and disinfect every surface the contaminated water touched
- Open and dry wall cavities, insulation, and the base of the walls
- Run air movers and dehumidifiers to a verified dry reading and document it for the claim
Storm water in your home? Do not wade into it, it is not clean water. Call and a Converse crew is on the way, 30 to 50 minutes out.
Call (210) 972-3919Before and during a flash flood
The National Weather Service warns that most flood deaths happen in vehicles, so never drive into a flooded crossing off Loop 1604 or IH-10. Watch the alerts from the Austin/San Antonio Weather Forecast Office, and follow the before, during, and after steps in the Ready.gov flood guide. When the water is in your home, get everyone to safety, then call us.
Storm water is Category 3
Flood water from a creek or a storm drain carries bacteria and whatever it ran over on the way in. Treat it as contaminated, stay out of it, and let our crews handle the extraction, cleaning, and disposal safely.

FAQ
Storm and flood questions, answered in Converse
Water in your home right now?
Do not wait for the FAQ. A Converse restoration team is standing by 24/7.
(210) 972-3919 Call nowIs storm and flood water dangerous to touch?
Yes. Flood water off a creek or a storm drain is Category 3 black water, carrying bacteria and contaminants. Stay out of it, keep kids and pets clear, and let our crews handle it in protective gear with proper disinfection and disposal.
Does homeowners insurance cover flash flood damage?
It depends on the source. Water that backs up or rises from outside is often covered only by separate flood insurance, while a storm-driven roof or window leak is usually on your homeowners policy. We document the source and category so your claim is clear, whichever applies.
How fast do you respond during a storm?
We answer 24/7 and dispatch across Converse and northeast Bexar County, reaching most homes in 30 to 50 minutes once it is safe to travel. During a widespread storm we route the nearest crew and stage by neighborhood.
Can you save carpet and drywall after a flood?
Porous materials soaked in Category 3 water usually have to come out for safety, but hard surfaces, framing, and often the lower drywall can be cleaned, dried, and saved. We remove only what must go and document why.
Why is Converse so prone to flash flooding?
Converse sits in Flash Flood Alley, where the terrain and intense South Texas rain send fast runoff off Cibolo Creek, Escondido Creek, and low crossings. A dry creek bed can become a torrent in minutes, so local homes flood faster than most people expect.
